Personal problems between John and Jared reached a peak after a year of playing the New York music scene and drummer Dan Rieser was brought in to replace Jared. The band was signed to Capitol in 1995 and they performed a series of NYC club dates that would be the first incarnation of Marcy Playground as a band. Kurt Rosenwinkel, a mutual friend, introduced bassist Dylan Keefe to John Wozniak and Marcy Playground began performing in NYC. After hearing the two records worth of material John had recorded of John's songs, Capitol Records became interested in the music. Jared believed in John's songwriting talent and put together money with his cousin Jeff White in order to pay for the duo, along with studio musician Glenn Braver(bassist) to record at Sabella Recording Studios in nearby Roslyn, NY. As of April 2009, Zog BogBean was available for download at Marcy Playground's official site as well as other outlets such as iTunes.Īfter attending the Evergreen State College for two years, Wozniak moved east to New York, in order to work with multi-instrumentalist Jared Kotler, who John had known from suburban Philadelphia. "Our Generation" and "Dog and His Master", two songs found on Wozniak's Zog BogBean project, would appear on later Marcy Playground albums. A limited run of CDs were self-released by Wozniak. Frontman John Wozniak's first effort, Zog BogBean – From the Marcy Playground, was self-produced, recorded in his bedroom studio with some help from his then-girlfriend Sherry Fraser and her brother Scott in the early nineties. The influences are quite clear on Marcy Playground's self-titled album, with songs like Shadow Of Seattle and Saint Joe On The School Bus. ![]() Influences include David Bowie, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Wham! and the Beatles. Marcy Playground emerged in the late 1990s. He chose the name because many of his songs were inspired by his childhood.
